I have boxed copies of SC4 vanilla and RH on my shelf. Does anyone know if those will activate on Steam?

edit: Nope, just tried it. Time to do some manual patching :pcgaming:

That does sound really cool. Are there any LPs of folks who've already done that? I wonder what happens if a mayor builds regional connections to a neighboring city while the neighboring mayor is still actively playing.

I played in a goon multiplayer SC4 game a long time ago, it must have been in 2007 or so. It used a different front end, but the same idea - only since this was in the pre-:yayclod: days, you had to manually push/pull updates.

Connections were a pain, because if 2 players were working on adjacent plots there would inevitably be conflicts. I think there was also an issue with changing terrain height and placing buildings along the edges of the city plots, since someone could build a connection there and gently caress things up.
